Abstract
A monostable multivibrator which includes a differential amplifier, a non-inverted reference potential supplying device, a charging/discharging circuit, and a switching transistor, and outputs a stabilized monostable oscillating signal in response to repeated trigger signal pulses. The monostable multivibrator can properly adjust the duty ratio by controlling the value of a resistance and capacitor, and has a constant duty ratio regardless of the fluctuation of the trigger pulse.
Claims6
A monostable multivibrator comprising:
- a differential amplifier having a non-inverting input terminal connected to a first node and an inverting input terminal connected to a second node, and responding to a potential difference between said first and second nodes to supply an output signal to an output terminal;
- a non-inverted reference potential supplying means for providing a first reference potential to said first node when said output signal is in a first state, and providing a second reference potential to said first node, said second reference potential being lower than said first reference signal when said output signal is in a second state which is different from the first state;
- a charging/discharging circuit for charging toward a third reference potential which is lower than said first reference potential and which is higher than said second reference potential when said output signal is in the first state, and discharging toward a fourth reference potential which is lower than said second reference potential when said output signal is in the second state, to thereby provide the charged and discharged potentials to said second node;
- and
- a switching transistor connected between said first node and ground potential and switching in response to an external trigger signal, so that said multivibrator outputs a stabilized monostable oscillating signal in response to repeated trigger signal pulses.
